                         HON. JOHN P. SARBANES

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, November 29, 2017

  Mr. SARBANES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to offer congratulations to 
Todd Redlin of Annapolis, Maryland on his retirement after serving 
twenty-five years at the U.S. House of Representatives. Todd retired 
October 31, 2017 as a Senior Engineer/Broadcast Specialist at the House 
Recording Studio in the Office of the Chief Administrative Officer.
   Todd was born October 28, 1952 to Kathleen and Robert Redlin outside 
of Green Bay, Wisconsin. His father was a Navigator/Bombardier in the 
United States Air Force for thirty years and with him Todd traveled to 
numerous locations both within the United States and abroad.
   Todd started his broadcasting career with CBS News in 1976 and 
worked there until coming to the House in 1991. At CBS, Todd was part 
of a camera crew that covered a plethora of stories, traveled with the 
press corps on many national campaigns and covered other news events 
both locally and internationally. Todd often provided the broadcast 
video coverage of many tragic events such as hurricanes, floods and 
plane crashes for CBS News.
   Todd started working at the House Recording Studio in 1992 as a 
Camera Operator and then moved on to become a Senior Camera Operator. 
He then moved from the Production Department to the Engineering 
Department and retired as a Senior Engineer/Broadcast Specialist.
   Todd's tenure at the House Recording Studio included the broadcasts 
and webcasts of many Congressional events including committee hearings, 
Congressional Gold Medal ceremonies, official luncheons and receptions 
and the annual lighting of the Congressional Christmas tree. In 
addition to his skills as an operator, Todd is also a very capable 
video editor.
   Todd has a younger brother in Texas and married his wife Kathy on 
May 30, 1981. They have three beautiful children, Trevor, Lindsey and 
Allison. According to Todd, his four-year-old grandson Wesley is ``a 
character and a handful. He is just like having a full time job!''
   Todd lists ``the camaraderie with my co-workers'' as his best 
memories of his twenty-five-plus years working at the House Recording 
Studio.
   His colleagues and I wish him well in his retirement as he spends 
more time with his grandson and his hobbies: playing tennis, fishing, 
traveling and rooting for the Green Bay Packers. We thank him for his 
service.
